PURPOSE Zinc oxide effectively reduces visual cell loss in rats exposed to intense visible light and is known to slow the rate of disease progression in advanced stages of age-related macular degeneration. Our goal was to determine the efficacy of zinc oxide in combination with novel and well-established antioxidants in an animal model of light-induced oxidative retinal damage. METHODS One gr...

BACKGROUND Natural antioxidant products are increasingly being used to treat various pathological liver conditions considering the role of oxidative stress in their pathogenesis. Rosemary essential oil has already being used as a preservative in food industry due to its antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, but it was shown to possess additional health benefits.

   In recent years, the world has witnessed an explosion of interest in biogenic synthesis of metallic nanoparticles (NPs), using plant extracts; however, the plant constituents involved in this reaction are poorly characterized. Here, major components of Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) leaf extracts were isolated monthly during 2012-2013 and their competences for Ag–...

in this study, the extract of sea cucumber species, holothuria leucospilota was extracted and its effect studied on the chemical quality rainbow trout fillets packed in vacuum. sea cucumber was extracted using methanol and various concentrations (0, 5/0, 1 and 2%) were prepared. salmon fillets after soaking in the extracts were vacuum packed, chemical tests every 4 days included total volatile ...
